AI generated Videos are getting crazy! With access to Google Gemini 's VEO2 engine I was able to create this 8 sec video that mirrors nearly 100 clips I have personally filmed in Africa of leopards. It did it in under a minute with a few simple prompts.

I love the challenge of photographing birds in flight. This is where your camera's AF system and high FPS (frames per second) come into play.

An incredible sunset over Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Such a remarkable destination! While the weather here can be very unforgiving, it can also be rewarding when everything lines up!

The Eyelash Pit Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is an incredible species of snake found in parts of Central and South America. These smaller vipers are arboreal (live in trees) and are ambush predators. They get their name "Eyelash" because of the scales that can be found above their eyes.

Keel-billed Toucans are both incredibly funny looking and insanely beautiful birds. They can be found in central and South America, but only Brazil has them listed as their national bird.

There is no greater wildlife experience on the planet than seeing wild Silverback Gorillas from the ground! No safari vehicles separating you...just you, the gorillas and the surrounding jungle!

Pre-Dawn light appears over one of my favorite mountain ranges in the world, Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Even after 20 trips to this region over the years, this view NEVER gets old!

Easily one of my favorite hidden gems in Australia is Karijini National Park. Located in Western Oz, it consists of a handful of amazing gorges, pools and waterfalls in the middle of the outback.

One of the most impressive mammals on the planet is the Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear as they are one of the largest species of bear on the planet because of the abundance of food. During the summer months you can find them searching for salmon in the rivers.

This is one of my favorite vertical panoramas I have ever shot! It was taken in Southern Patagonia in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park with the Milky Way in the sky above. I shot it at 24mm and combined 5 horizontal images, stacked vertically. #art #photography #astro

One of the most challenging shoots I did last year was photograph a Red Splitting Cobra in Kenya. These incredible creatures spit their venom, requiring me to wear a full face shield. The second photo is a BTS shot of my lens covered in venom. Nature is cool!

There is nothing quite like seeing an erupting volcano in person. These days, there is no better place than Iceland to have this kind of experience. While they often rope off the most dangerous areas around the volcano, a Drone can capture some pretty amazing footage!

Just got back home after 25 days exploring the jungles of Madagascar. Ended up losing 10lbs on this trip, which was a nice surprise! Most expensive weight loss program EVER ;)

Some destinations just seem too good to be true! Places like Diamond Beach in the southern part of Iceland. Even after 40 trips to Iceland over the years, this spot never gets old. Every shot is different! Such a fun destination to experience!

While every wildlife photographer knows the struggle of wild animals turning their back to them, I decided to take it to heart and make an artistic series of "wild butts" from around the world. Any guesses on who is up first?

Sometimes mother nature can just blow you away with how incredible it truly is! Auroras appear when solar flares launch off the sun towards our little planet and interact with our atmosphere. How amazing is that?

Have you ever wanted to see the Milky Way and sunrise at the same time? Bolivia has some of the darkest skies on the planet, allowing for a very small 15 minute window where you can capture both in a single image. Crazy right?
